Australia 14 gold, 15 Silver and 17 bronze. Very good for a country of 20 million. China walked away with 50 gold, 100 medals amazing since they only got 28 gold in Sydney.

I would love to go to London 2012, i know I have a bed, I just need some money (Hi Kirsten!!!!)

the memories (too many)
Michael Phelps - 8 gold
Grant Hackett - sooooo close
An Australian diver winning gold and stopping China's blitz of the event
Jamaican MEN!!!!
relay batons being dropped
a great opening ceremony
Watching Australia win gold at school in the library with 100s of kids cheering on

Well done Beijing - 2nd best games ever in my life time, but HEY who can beat Sydney??? NO ONE!!!!!

thanks everyone too on your kind words about Pebbles. We have told Max but he still tells me she is at the doctors and is sick, so I am thinking he just may forget about it all ......we will see!

Next weekend I am on a scrap weekend with 20 girlfriends..cant WAIT!!!!!!!!!

love ya Pebbs!

We lost our little staffy (my little pussy cat) today.

We noticed she had weepy eyes on Wednesday and thought she just had a cold as it has been very COLD here. Today she would not leave her bed so Daz took her to the vet.

She had a massive eye tumor and that meant her eye had to be removed and as it was so big it could give her brain damage. The vet said she might not be her happy self again as she would be protective as she would be blind in one eye. As Max and her play together I could not RISK it. I could not take her to the vet and I am feeling empty as Darren said his goodbyes and has had a cry. I could not go, I could not say goodbye but now as the tears start to swell I feel sooo bad I did not give her one last kiss!

My fondest (and funniest) story of this little rascal was when I walked both her and Bronte though the lakes at the back of the new estate in 2001. It was a hot January morning and I had lost a lot of weight and my wedding rings were loose. Bronte would go for a swim in the lake but Pebbles would never leave my side. This time Bronte swam right off and I was calling her back, all of a sudden Pebbles jumped in and started to swim too. It was like she did three strokes and just SUNK, GONE!!!!! I ran into the dirty lake and scooped her up as I did I felt something weird on my left hand............OH MY GOSH my rings. I splashed and searched and just paniced as Pebbs gasped for air and all I could think about was my wedding rings. I walked home in the HOT morning sun WET, MUDDY and CRYING. no one could see the tears as I was sweating sooo much. I thought about borrowing my friends pool scoop and going back!!! I even wondered about redrawing from our home loan. I cried all the way home......................i had a shower and sulked for 3 hours.

THEN I sat on my bed and there they were. My rings, they had fallen off that night and I had forgotten i put them on my bedside table...............oh man the day Pebbles made me save her life had turned out ok!!!!!

Miss ya ! We will never forget your noises, your big tongue, your gorgeous muscles, and the way you cleaned yourself like a cat.

random thoughts

Well I am on weight watches (again) and it is a SHOCK to the system but I am IN THE ZONE and need to loose 10 kg. Baby making is on hold, my brain needs a rest from it all, it was doing MY HEAD IN!!! I have done VERY well for 4 days now and I know once this week is over it will be second nature again, and as the weather warms up I will walk more and 10kg will come quickly.

I am madly saving $$$$. I have to realise I just can't spend like I used to. Plus if i want to get to a great holiday destination for my 10th wedding anniversay next year I need $$$. I have done very well and hey I am eating less food so that has to help!!!! LOL.

today i was sad when Grant Hackett lost the 1500m. The Aussie's have owned this race at Olympic and Commonwealth games level since 1990, and today the reign came to an end. In 2000 I was screaming at Grant for beating Kieran Perkins, hoping and praying Kieran would get the triple. At least in 2000 it went to another Aussie! but today we lost our second chance at the triple. I feel sorry for Grant, I just wanted him to have that bit if history for him and the Aussie fans!!!!

and WHY will i be staying up to the WEE hours of the morning for the next few nights! I am now a photoshop FREAK!!! LOL I went to Janine's house today for a photshop course. And i leant sooooooo much!!!! I am off to play and tweak. It was a great afternoon spent chatting, playing and learning, what else could a girl ask for on a Sunday afternoon!!!!

I love..........

the Olympics!!!! I love seeing Aussie's win and being proud of them. At school i am loving the buzz too! We had an Olympic day and there was sooo much colour and spirit, it was sooo nice. Here is the slide show I created for the whole school, 10 kids in my class were born in 2000, one on the day the Sydney Olympics started!!!!

I have loved walking my class to the library this week to watch the swimming finals and cheering on the aussies. They are sooo cute, one of my students asked me how I knew we were going to win as every time we went to the library we WON!!! I just nodded and told her I KNEW everything!!!! LOL

I am loving watching Max as I have taught him to call out GO AUSSIE - he yells "Aussie GO GO" too cute! Each afternoon we sit and watch the diving and as they jump he says "WHOOO........splash" "WHOOOOOOO............splash".

Kylie Tout I love you too! After coming home with a headache yesterday as I had toooo much fun in the sun at the Olympics I was soooooooo excited to open all this!!!!!!! Wonderful scrapping clearly albums!!!!! I cant wait to use them, they are the cutest shapes - a house, a van, an arrow and a train, plus a 6x6, 3x2 and lots of little bits. Plus the funkiest scallop scissors that I cant wait to use. HUGS Kylie you made my week!!!!

Oh and here is wags THE DOG Max had a great day with Alex, Sophie and Charlotte at the Wiggly play centre at Seven Hills. He was sooo HAPPY to meet wags too, I am turning him into a Wiggles groupie!!! LOL

Every 4 years I enjoy the goose bumps



Go Aussies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the roller coaster ride of life

well it has not been a week that will go down as one of my favs, and hey it is not even OVER YET!!!

I guess my PMT set in early and it led me to be very emotional and angry in a staff meeting, I was sad (holding back tears) about what was being said and after many weeks of hard work just really wanted to walk home! If it was not for my wonderful class I would have. It really should not have upset me...........I know better than that but hey..........oh well!!!!

Anyway DH is driving me nuts as he is stressed and having a very bad time...........grrrrr...so we are both bears with sore heads. Then to top it all off another month of not being pregnant has just made me feel so blue tonight. I hugged Max sooo tight tonight and tried to talk myself into the fact that it would be ok...............will it be??? I know it will it just does not feel like it right now........I am so looking forward the 29th month of trying (15 with Max)!!! Yes life could be worse i know!!!!!

To tip me over the edge bloglines would not work for me......i had 2 nights of withdrawals. it kept reading page can not load. For those of you that use bloglines you can imagine how stressed i was. LOL. I have fixed it by downloading a new version

here is a photo that cracks me UP!!! On Sunday night Max showed off his passion for photography (just like his mumma) by setting up a Wiggles photo shoot.

love ya little man, having you makes life sooooooooooooooo much better
